Life in Plymouth - Shooting on Street

It's pretty hard to master photography. 6 months of continuously shuttering my Nikon Bi Bi, I proclaim my skill has improved bit by bit. It excites me, and inspires me to shoot more Just a small tip of sharing If the light is dim, there is 3 things that I normally will adjust ISO - Choose ISO that is >800 Shutter - Choose low value such as less than 20 Aperture - Choose low value such as less than 7 These 3 things will allow more light in, and will make the image brighter Sometimes, I will change exposure mode (+) or white balance If you would love to shoot lighting, It is recommended to use continuous shooting (few snapping at once) rather than single shooting Continuous shooting is best to use when you are intended to shoot fast motion/movement It will allow you to capture the blink of change in which single shooting unable to do for I just love shooting :)

Switch On Xmas's Lights

Christmas is the celebration of Christ Jesus's Birthday. UK, as a Christ country treats this season extremely important. It is a season of giving, and definitely a season of pocket empty as well. Shopping mall has extended their operation hours, streets are flooded with crowds, and most importantly discounting taps are everywhere in the shop. In Malaysia, we love Christmas too because it is a holiday, it is a fun gathering time, it is a hyper happening time, it is party time and etc. Shops open till midnight, transports service will extend till midnight. In UK, shops will be closed on 25th. Transports will be stopped on 25th. The streets should be empty at night. It is a family gathering. It is definitely churches' christmas dinner or party. Houses display Xmas trees, parents prepare gifts for their children, thinking to have a family feast together, and also attending churches, worship Lord and etc. Normally streets will become empty after 5pm. The only going place will be pub...

Life in Plymouth - First Snow

Once opened my eye, the roof of building was covered with white snow. Immediately, I opened my window and saw the street was in white. Wow, finally snowed! Got myself equipped with Nikon Bi Bi, and started snapping for 5 min before the class started :P The snow was thin, and it vanished after the sun started shine. Luckily I took some photos beforehand, if not I would be regretted. The excitement was short. My first experience of real snow in life. Gilwell Hall - right behind my hall Car park area beside hall Snowy street Car showed by snow Walk path in University On the way to library Underground access to university bar In front of library - sitting area Beside library view from 3rd floor of library Asians classmate - Fei (Shanghai), Cat (HK), Hong (Msia) Me :) Me :)
